Equal Space for critics of Science and IT Park. Comment written by Student # 9 unedited by blog admin
Quote “Last March 2, the Philippine Daily Inquirer published a story, written by TJ Burgonio, titled “P6-B UP-based IT park first of its kind in RP.” The story was about the science and technology park being built on one of the idle lands of the University of the Philippines Diliman. The IT park is being developed by Ayala Land Inc.
Quote “The report was unbalanced because it did not give equal space to comments supporting and opposing the IT park. The report only devoted one sentence or one paragraph for the side opposing the project, while more than 31 paragraphs discussed what the project is and how good the project would be.
Quote “The report violated the first provision in the Philippine Journalist’s Code of Ethics, which states: “I shall scrupulously report and interpret the news, taking care not to suppress essential facts nor to distort the truth by omission or improper emphasis. I recognize the duty to air the other side and the duty to correct substantive errors promptly.” Closed-quote. 2008/03/07 at 12:16 AM 2008/03/07
